Anti-British Propaganda Among Arabs
UNTRUTHFUL GERMAN BROADCASTS RUGBY, July 24. Answering a Commons question, Air. j R. A. Butler (Under-Secretary for | Foreign Affairs) said it was unfortu- • nately true that much propaganda of I au anti-British nature is published in the German Arabic broadcasts and much inaccurate information especially regarding Palestine, but they do not appear to contain any direct incitement to violence. Mr. Butler said tho 8.8. C. had broadcast denials of the worst of these allegations, which W’Cro fundamentally' untrue, but ho did not think a direct approach to Germany would be likely to achieve desirable results. Tho Colonial Office report on Palestine states that, after two R.A.F. tenders had been shot at da the Bcer-
slieba-Uebron Road, a military % detach- J inent went out and engaged tho bandits. | It is believed casualties wero inflicted on them before darkness intervened. During the operations a British . privato was killed and four others*'
I wounded. Police and troops carried out searches in six villages of the Haifa sub-district ( during which 138 persons were identified as belonging to the terrorists’ * organisation and were arrested.
